Raw material
"I was just born this way."
We say it like the case is closed.
Like the diagnosis is also the sentence.
But nobody arrived patient.
Nobody came out of the womb with their arrogance already trimmed.
The people who actually changed had the same raw material.
Imperfect parents. Bad examples. The same fires.
They didn't wait for fairer conditions.
They just decided not to stay who they were.
Not in one moment.
Every ordinary day.
Same starting line.
Different decisions.
We use "I was born this way" like a verdict. But everyone who changed had the same raw material. The starting line was never the problem.
